Abstract: 
Solar radiation is harnessed as an alternative energy source for numerous industrial and domestic applications. Currently, apart from space heating, air-conditioning and lightning, solar water heating (SWH) systems have a widespread usage and applications in both domestic and industrial sectors. The major issue with solar energy is that the transmission efficiency is low and so heat transfer augmentation methods can be used to improve thermal performance of solar water heater and the aim of present work is to developed conical solar water heater with objective is to obtain good water outlet temperature from compact solar water heater.
